Voluntad política para un tiempo de reformas: Presupuestos previos para abordar una reforma constitucional

2019

The vast majority of Spaniards is in favor of a constitutional reform. Before the undertaking of this reform, there are some previous conditions that need to be granted: a rational debate on ideas; a reduction of the political and social tension; a common goodwill to reach a consensus; and some loyalty during negotiations. As many other scholars, the author agrees that instead of talking about a constitutional reform, it would be more adequate to talk about some constitutional reforms, that should be undertaken gradually. He also stresses that these reforms do not imply the opening of a new constituent process. In addition, he underlines the fact that the Catalan crisis should not be the tr…

30 minutes of philosophy of law: Old and new problems

2007

Este trabajo recoge la intervención que cerró el seminario «Derecho, ética y política. Un debate en torno a la obra de Ernesto Garzón Valdés» (Alicante, 15 y 16 de junio de 2007). En ella se recogen algunas reflexiones del autor sobre los problemas cruciales de los que debería ocuparse la filosofía del Derecho contemporánea: 1) Estado de Derecho y terrorismo; 2) el impacto de las investigaciones neurológicas en el concepto de responsabilidad; 3) la erosión de las estructuras institucionales a nivel internacional; 4) la relación entre etica, política y Derecho desde el punto de vista de una filosofía analítica del Derecho; y 5) América Latina como contexto de investigación jurídico-filosófic…

DIAGNOSIS-RELATED GROUP ANALYSIS AND STRATEGIC HEALTHCARE BUDGETING

2011

The term Diagnosis-Related Group DRG) refers to a classification system used to assess hospital services with the aim of streamling health care costs and improving performance. The DRG system focuses on the utilization of resources, and is not concerned with the specific type of care provided to the patient. This system highlights any diseconomies and eventual critical aspects of the hospital system. This article examines the variables used to correctly evaluate hospital performance based on the DRG system. These include: Average length of Stay, Average Daily Patients Load, Comparative Performance Index and Case Mix Index.

Influence of substrate oxidation on the reward system, no role of dietary fibre.

2011

International audience; It has been suggested that a high intake of dietary fibre helps regulate energy intake and satiety. The present study aimed to examine whether dietary fibre influenced the liking and wanting components of the food reward system, the metabolic state or subsequent intake. Five sessions involving 32 normal-weight subjects (16 men and 16 women, 30.6 ± 7.6 year) were held. The sessions differed in the composition of the bread eaten during breakfasts (dietary fibre content varied from 2.4 to 12.8 g/100 g). Several factors such as the palatability, weight, volume, energy content and macronutrient composition of the breakfasts were adjusted. Energy expenditure, the respirato…

Driving factors for having visibility of sustainability contents in university degree titles

2020

Abstract Given the increasing concern about sustainability issues in society, graduates and postgraduates going into the labour market benefit from the inclusion of sustainability contents in university studies. Visibility of these contents is gained towards a potential employer if they are explicitly mentioned in the university degree title. This is the first paper to explore this trend. More precisely, the purpose of this study is to find explanatory causal combinations of factors for this trend in the Spanish setting. The methodological approach of this paper is based on fuzzy sets. More precisely, it follows fuzzy-sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis, which is an innovative approach in…

Songs in passerine birds are important for territory defense and mating. Speciation rates in oscine passerines are so high, due to cultural evolution, that this bird lineage makes up half of the extant bird species. Leaf warblers are a speciose Old-World passerine family of limited morphological differentiation, so that songs are even more important for species delimitation. We took 16 sonographic traits from song recordings of 80 leaf warbler taxa and correlated them with 15 potentially explanatory variables, pairwise, and in linear models. Based on a well-resolved molecular phylogeny of the same taxa, all pairwise correlations were corrected for relatedness with phylogenetically independe…

The impact of institutional and macroeconomic conditions on aggregate business bankruptcy

2021

Abstract This paper investigates the aggregate business bankruptcy in relation to three macro-level factors: the government effectiveness, entrepreneurship activity and control of corruption for six European countries during the period from 2004 to 2017. We employ fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and partial least squares regression (PLS). Our findings show that countries with a high level of new firm creation and entrepreneurial activity can lead to a rise in the number of company failures. Furthermore, countries with a low corruption index and high levels of government effectiveness can mitigate insolvency. Our results have several policy implications for the evaluation …

Survival causal patterns of social and commercial entrepreneurial initiatives in Spain

2021

This research aims at analysing the influence of a holistic configuration of factors related to industry and the characteristics of the entrepreneur and the business, on the survival of social and commercial entrepreneurial initiatives in both, new and consolidated companies. The sample ranges from 2,851 to 2,109 firms, according to the period considered, and has been obtained from the reports of the projects submitted to the Assistance Programme to Young Entrepreneurs, promoted by the Valencian Institute of Youth. Other sources of information have been the Institute’s own reports and the Chambers of Commerce. A configurational analysis is performed using the Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparati…
